Owen Killian, CEO of Aryzta, said: “Consumer sentiment continued to deteriorate resulting in lower consumer spending in most channels. This combined with the continuing credit crunch poses challenges for most of our customers.


“Revenue growth has slowed in all markets and was negative in our food business in Europe. Aryzta remains focused on driving operational efficiencies and generating free cash flow”.


The company said it remains on target to achieve average earnings per share of EUR2.14 for the current year.
